Ciao Cannoli!What a wonderful project/idea to retire to Sicily. I'm an Australian expat living in Sicily, in the province of Messina and I can say Sicily is a great place to retire, Giardini is so near Taormina you can go up everyday if you want and there will always be many expats around and the social/cultural life will be great for you. Giardini is a great little town but can get hectic and muggy in the summer. Be sure to do all of your research, get some legal advice and find an honest geometra/avvocato to help you in Sicily, perhaps you can ask your relatives to reccomend someone.Be sure to test the waters as nothing will prepare you for living in Sicily as it is completely different from visiting.I recently wrote a post about making the move to Sicily which might be helpful: http://unwillingexpat.wordpress.com/2014/11/10/dont-move-to-sicily/Good luck with everything and be sure to drop me a line ...Rochelle Del BorrelloBlogger on http://unwillingexpat.wordpress.com/ and Expat living in Sicily
